February 7th
Dear PVE Families,
Thank you Mr. Marino and Mrs. Clapprood for spearheading “ Spreading Love” with the Fifth Grade Student Council. Last week, the Fifth Grade Student Council decorated the cafeteria for Valentine’s Day. This week they are leaving surprise messages of kindness on classroom doors.

On Monday and Tuesday, farmer Stacie Nichols was working with students in the Open Learning Lab. Students learned about seeds and how to read the back of the see package to determine where the seeds should be planted. Students designed their own gardens on paper.
Due to the anticipated bad weather, chrome books will go home today, February 7th.
New After School Program
The Blue Door Art Studio is running an eight week PTO sponsored after school program in grades k-2 at PVES. Students have this unique opportunity to create art pieces through drawing, painting, and mix media with school friends.
